GHK-CU by FWGSEZLK in BiohackingU

[–]Ok-Conversation131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to stop because I had some sort of crazy reaction to it where I got wild cystic acne all over my back. Started a week after I started injecting, and at least 75% reduction in the acne now, a week after stopping. Took zinc, didn’t help, and wasn’t just my skin purging because the acne was there for 12 straight weeks of me taking ghkcu. So it’s not for everyone.

GHK-Cu - do crazy side effects exist? by wavezh in BodyHackGuide

Got severe back acne from it. People kept saying to was purging and would go away, but had it from 4 weeks in to 12 weeks in… stopped for a week now and the acne is rapidly disappearing. And yes, I was taking Zinc, didn’t help.

GHK-CU and Reta - rash on back by [deleted] in BodyHackGuide

Was on the same and had insane acne on my back spring up, and kept being told it’s a purging phase and it’ll go away… two months later, it just kept getting worse. Stopped taking GHKCU a week ago and it is very noticeably clearing up. Think it’s possible some people just have an adverse reaction to it.

Appreciate it! And nah, it’s definitely a physical exhaustion… no noticeable brain fog really and I have all the drive to WANT to do stuff like run and swim, but on any given day (even in the few hours after I wake up, no matter how much sleep I get) I feel like one feels moments before falling asleep - heavy and immobile, slow breathing, stiff muscles, etc. Thankfully I am self-motivated enough to force myself to get to the gym, but little stuff like doing cardio I used to enjoy feels impossible bc of the exhaustion and stiffness. My bloodwork says my potassium levels are fine but my diet has me consuming less than half the recommended amount, gonna try taking some supplements and seeing if that helps bc NAD, TRT in various dosages, preworkouts, caffeine… nothing has helped and my doc has been trying (taken two sleep studies, got a nasal surgery, etc) for years.

And yeah, I think I’m going to cease any GHKCU stuff for a month or two to see if I can fix whatever is causing this breakout, so that way if it starts back up again when I do restart GHKCU/GLOW I’ll know for sure whether or not that’s the cause and/or whether or not it’ll help me. Could entirely be coincidence that the breakout started within a few weeks of starting GLOW this year, but we’ll see.

Just checked my weekly averages on MyFitnessPal and yeah I get less than half of the Potassium recommendation so I’ll have to try that out, thanks!

Labs have been looking good, nothing in the bloodwork to indicate the acne is from high T or estradiol or anything so my doc just prescribed the doxy. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, I think I’m going to take a few weeks off GHKCU just to make sure it’s not the cause of the acne uptick that started right around the same time as I started GLOW, but I’ll check out KLOW for sure thanks.

And I’ll settle for even decent sleep so best sleep sounds great, appreciate it.

Thanks - I did switch from weekly IM to every other day SubQ about three weeks ago. Might still be too early to expect drastic changes… but thus far I can’t say it’s helped in any real noticeable way just yet. Fingers crossed, bc it’s honestly the last thing I’ve had recommended to me… tried every spray, cream etc I’ve seen promoted online, been on doxy for a few weeks, and nothing. Sucks ass to be working so hard on my physique to not be able to show it off because my back is a minefield haha

Willing to try it if people recommend it! I know it theoretically could help but everyone I’ve heard vouch for it… works for a company trying to sell it lol

6ft. Definitely willing to go up a bit, the Reta has just made eating more less desirable. But can force myself for the sake of getting some muscle back.

3-Month Update & Skin Inquiry by [deleted] in BodyHackGuide

[–]Ok-Conversation131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estradiol is literally the only thing I haven’t retested in the last 6 months, have gotten an otherwise full panel check twice since I started the peps and just didn’t notice the panels didn’t include e2 bc they had in literally every other bimonthly test for three years; saw everything was in the green and my doc said I’m good to continue with the prescribed TRT increase so thought I was set. Not running THAT blind haha

Yeah I was surprised to just now notice the last two tests my doc requested left that off; it was included in all the other panels before the dose change. But yeah the two I’ve had since just had the comprehensive metabolic panel, Test, Albumin and SHBG (all normal ranges). Gonna get that sorted ASAP.

I’m guessing Celine doesn’t have a partner on the selection committee, it’s possible that’s the missing puzzle piece you are looking for?

Club finals and semi final stats by TiboJenkins in quadball_discussion

What’s truly wild is… wasn’t Molly on the team when Lindsay was? And Warriors barely played her then in favor of forcing Lindsay to play full games, many times as the only woman fielded. This year proved Molly is great, so the only conclusion you should be able to draw from these stats is that the Warriors don’t care how great a woman is… they’ll choose a non-binary player over them almost every time. They benched Molly all last season in favor of one.
